As much as I hate it, there’s currently still available a thread on Reddit that provides links to various archives of January 6th info/video/etc. I personally have the 1~ TB video archive data saved and mirrored on a couple of cold storage drives and I’d encourage anyone with the extra HDD space to grab as much as you can while it’s there.
[Mirroring that post from January 2021; Magnet link truncated due to lemmy comment size limit. :( ]
FINAL UPDATE as of January 31st 5:35PM EST:
Thank you to everyone who shared content. The content being submitted now from what I’m seeing is duplicates of older content. I will thus no longer be updating this archive. The MEGA will remain untouched, so use that as you please, but that will likely die one day as there is a bandwidth/transfer limit. I will be uploading the content to Internet Archive, as well as other sources, but until then the torrent magnet that I will be seeding for a little while is listed below - my bandwidth isn’t the best so please do seed if you can:
Archiving videos before potential removal from various websites…
Send or comment links of videos you need downloaded. Currently going through POV livestreams/replays.
NOTE: livestreams/POV are of the utmost importance. AKA Twitch/dlive/Facebook Live, etc. If you find any of these POV angles, please tag me directly in your comment, or PM me. These generally get taken down VERY fast by the livestream website.
UPDATE:
Thank you to everyone who shared links (and continue to do so). I am noticing that a lot of the content is now duplicates, or variations (crops, lower quality, etc) of the same content. So I have put all the content I have on MEGA. If I have replied to your comment then the content for sure is in this torrent.
(This is sitting in at ~350GB as of Jan 10 3:00 PM EST. Still adding content)
UPDATE 2:
Link should be working - MEGA contacted me and reinstated the account (and gave premium so I could upload more). I will be uploading more content that I find to the mega account. Still going through the comments, and the 900+ messages I have. Keep posting comments and I will upload them to the MEGA folder.
UPDATE 3:“Bellingcat” has created a really efficient way to submit media via a Google Spreadsheet. It’s not connected to my archive, but I hope to have a merged final copy in the end.
Other backups based on the original MEGA from Jan 06 6:30PM - some might’ve updated, but no idea if/when; check each link, it should say. Or you can message the user:
